Herring under a fur coat for the Year of the Rat
Description
Perfect for an everyday table. I want to remind you of the wonderful traditional holiday salad and prepare herring under a fur coat for the Year of the Rat. Let's present the dish beautifully and symbolically, in the shape of the upcoming year's totem. You can chop the ingredients into cubes, but I prefer using a grater, which makes the salad incredibly tender and delicious. Feel free to involve the kids in decorating—it will undoubtedly bring them great joy and lots of positive emotions. Decorate as desired and serve.

Step 10
Coat the salad evenly with mayonnaise on all sides. Use a spoon or spatula to shape it as desired and decorate symbolically, letting your imagination guide you. I used olives for the nose and eyes, herbs for the tail and whiskers, and egg whites for the ears.
